		The Sengoku Period is one of the most interesting periods in Japanese history and gives rise to some of the most famous historical figures.
		The Tokugawa period is referred to this because this period is characterized by 250 years of peace and political stability.

	E-Budo.com - Group training and the battlefield
		By the time of Sengoku, the use of spears and guns were well established in most daimyo armies, because it did take less time, money and effort to train an ashigaru or conscript to use a spear or a rifle than to train a warrior to use a sword and horse.
		During the Sengoku period, the samurai were the political and military leaders of Japan who clearly prided themselves on their martial prowess and accomplishments on the battlefield and yet they seem to have left most of the fighting in battle up to masses of low-class ashigaru.
		By the sengoku period, the upper ranks of the bushi order--the group most people associate with the term "samurai"--were officers whose primary task was directing the fighting.

	Military Aspects of the Daimyo
		By the sengoku period, the samurai had traded his bow for a short spear and his armor had become tailored for fighting on foot as well as in the saddle.
		As mentioned in a preceding section, the sengoku army was often composed of various clans united under the standard of the daimyo, and to a greater or lesser extent were independent commands subject to general orders from the top.
		This was especially the case in the earlier stages of the sengoku period when the various daimyo often fought to consolidate their own territories or for local gain.

	Ancient Japan - 6
		In the 1550-60 period the Sengoku daimyo, who had survived the wars of the previous 100 years, moved into an even fiercer stage of mutual conflict.
		The ancestors of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo bakufu, were the Matsudaira, a Sengoku daimyo family from the mountainous region of Mikawa province (in present Aichi prefecture) who had built up their base as daimyo by advancing into the plains of Mikawa.
		On the one hand, the seclusion policy was instrumental in enabling the Tokugawa bakufu to establish a prolonged peace of nearly 300 years; yet on the other, it has been argued that this simply prolonged a rigid feudal system to an extent unknown elsewhere in the world.

		Officially, the Warring States period was between early-to-mid 1500s and about 1600.
		As such, anything from shortly before the beginning of the Sengoku period all the way to about 1870 (a mere year or two after the end of the Isshin revolution when Imperial forces violently dismantled the Shogunate) makes for good gaming and could easily be of interest for me to play.
		A certain amount of similarity to the real world of that time is desirable, and the supernatural should be subtle enough that it wouldn't make the customs, beliefs, and expectations of the people of the period different from what they were.
